Looking beyond the familiar trappings of the cult of female chastity—such as hagiographies of widows and chastity shrines--in late imperial China, this book explores the cult's political significance and practical ramifications in everyday life during the eighteenth century. In the first full-length study of the subject, Janet Theiss examines a vast number of laws, legal cases, regulations, and policies to illustrate the social and political processes through which female virtue was defined, enforced, and contested. Along the way, she provides rich details of social life and cultural practices among ordinary Chinese people through narratives of criminal cases of sexual assault, harassment, adultery, and domestic violence.

用户评价

如果最后一章再夯实一些就更好了

除了要和Sommer一起考察，也别忘了Lu Weijing

与材料结合紧密导致无法滑水读完。除了最后一章最后两节有点牵强以外，剩余的分析做得很漂亮，各方势力轮流登场。在谈Female chstity中诸多contradiction和negotiation时，似乎隐约在回应Ko：gender orthodoxy中的漏洞在民间不会带来resilience而是致命的conflict和fracture。

interesting perspective

和Sommer放在一起读非常有意思。因为和Sommer的出发点不同，在解读材料时比Sommer大胆也冒险很多。以及，Susan Mann奶奶的review真厉害，不动声色又一针见血地点出了这书的方法、逻辑漏洞。
